The Right Brain versus The Left Brain Test [Fun Test]

|
Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the
dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and if
anti-clockwise, you use more of the left side of the
brain.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can
try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

We are a result of how our left and right brains
interact, or in some cases, do not interact.
It is an over-simplification to identify "left brain" types who are
very analytical and orderly and "right-brain" types who
are artistic, unpredictale and creative. We draw upon
specific sides of our brain for a variety of daily functions, depending
on such things as our age, education and life experiences. The choices
of which brain is in control of which situation is what develops our
personalities and determines our character.
Experiments show that most children are very (right
brain) before entering school. Unfortunately our education system in
the UK and Ireland places a higher value on left brain skills such as
mathematics, logic and language than it does on creating or using our
imagination. It is believed by the time we are adults, high creativity remains in
only
2 percent of the population. I would suspect that this is somewhat
higher in Ireland.
